With the Microsoft HoloLens Headset you can use your eyes to point your cursor, and your hands to manipulate objects. It's a complete computer incorporated into the headset, a fully untethered experience setting your imagination, and body, free of limitations… and cubicles.

From day-to-day business, video chatting, 3D modeling, entertainment and more, the HoloLens brings forth a revolutionary way to incorporate your work into your reality.

Inside of the HoloLens you have advanced sensors that detect your surroundings and your activities, a High-Definition lense that projects full-colors images to blend with your world, and a one-of-a-kind Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) that can process large amounts of data in order to keep up with your movements and real-time needs. All of this Science-Fact power wrapped up in a shiny adjustable headband with the weight evenly distributed for comfort.
